The Nautilus Dev Team responded to requests we heard from the dev community around Docker Compose so we developed Nautilus.

Docker Compose serves as a convenient tool for software engineers developing a microservice-based application. Yet, we heard from various developer friends of ours, one who works for the government on the Medicare website, that as the app grows in complexity, the number of containers, connections and container data can become complicated to track and conceptualize.

To address this need, we created Nautilus, an Electron application, that charts out the containers, network connections, port maps and volumes/bind-mounts in a Compose microservice application. No longer will developers need to hold the map of their network in their heads or on a piece of paper. Nautilus will navigate them through rough waters.
